<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("language", "1");
 
function initialize() {
var content = document.getElementById('content');
// Setting the text in the div.
content.innerHTML = '&amp;lt;div id="text"&amp;gt;Place Your Text Here (Hola, me alegro mucho de verte.)&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div id="translation"/&amp;gt;';
 
// Grabbing the text to translate
var text = document.getElementById("text").innerHTML;
 
// Translate from Spanish to English, and have the callback of the request
// put the resulting translation in the "translation" div.
// Note: by putting in an empty string for the source language ('es') then the translation
// will auto-detect the source language.
google.language.translate(text, 'es', 'en', function(result) {
var translated = document.getElementById("translation");
if (result.translation) {
translated.innerHTML = result.translation;
}
});
}
